Thanks. I did go with OEM this time. This aftermarket brand looked attractive because they are slotted (which should crack more slowly), and the non-wear surfaces were powder-coated (so they would never get that little bit of rust like OEM). I also (a) moved up to Hawk pads, © removed the backing plates, and and © installed bigger deflectors on the A-arms to direct more air toward the rotors. I'm ready for Thunderbolt.
